Caernarfon Man Jailed for 15 Months for Breaching Restraining Order on 60-Year-Old Woman

A probation report about repeated secret meetings prompted the court to activate his suspended term, extending the no-contact order to June 2030.

Overview

  • Michael Jones, 32, received three months for fresh restraining-order breaches, with 12 months of a previously suspended term activated, at Caernarfon Crown Court on October 1.
  • He had been given a 16‑month sentence suspended for 18 months in June after admitting grievous bodily harm without intent against the same woman.
  • The court heard he met the 60-year-old three times in July despite the order, including an encounter where she allowed him to breastfeed for 10 minutes and a visit where he initially would not let her leave his flat.
  • Jones disclosed the secret contacts to his probation officer on July 28, leading to a police report and subsequent enforcement action.
  • The judge noted his attachment and mental-health issues and said the woman was "very complicit," while the victim stated her health had worsened due to stress; the restraining order now runs until June 5, 2030.
